Default Gingerbeer+rum dark n stormy

Hey guys

Got my first batch of ginger beer fermenting along nicely

I was wondering what peoples thoughts on adding a shot of dark rum when bottling?

Has anyone tried this?

I dig dark and stormy. IMO,wouldn't add the rum at bottling just mix one when you want it.

It's better with a shot of strong apple jack or apple brandy, but I agree, premixing drinks and bottling is a poor use of time and only limits your options. The novelty of a bottled cocktail wears off pretty fast.
